The paper presents a novel self adjusting wind energy utilization scheme using a modified single phase operation of the three phase induction generator. The proposed scheme is supplemented by a voltage stabilization switched filter compensation schemes which is controlled by a dynamic Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm MOGA error driven self adjusting PID controller. The Green Plug Filter Compen...

In this article our objective is to obtain steady state characteristics of shunt, series, and separately excited DC motors coupled with a centrifugal water pump supplied through a step-up, step-down, and cuk converter from photovoltaic generator. We assume that there are no storage batteries and, of course, the system must operate on maximum utilization i.e. maximum water must be pumped. It is ...

In China, the power sector is currently the largest carbon emitter and the transportation sector is the fastest-growing carbon emitter. This paper proposes a model of solar-powered charging stations for electric vehicles to mitigate problems encountered in China’s renewable energy utilization processes and to cope with the increasing power demand by electric vehicles for the near future. This s...

Fuel cells directly convert chemical energy into electrical power using electrochemical reactions. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is one of the high-temperature fuel cells that propose a promising future from the standpoint of power generation. In this study, optimization of an SOFC system is performed using Taguchi approach after verification of the model in compare with experimental results. Cu...

The renewable energy sources have increased significantly due to environmental issues and fossil fuels elevated cost. Integration of renewable energy sources to utility grid depends on the scale of power generation. Large scale power generations are connected to transmission systems where as small scale distributed power generation is connected to distribution systems. There are certain challen...

The variation of household attributes such as income, travel distance, age, household member, and education for different residential areas may generate different market penetration rates for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Residential areas with higher PHEV ownership could increase peak electric demand locally and require utilities to upgrade the electric distribution infrastructure ev...

† Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. opment Organization (NEDO) for a period of 5 years beginning in 2003, and has amassed a proven track record for developing and evaluating “microgrid control technology” that balances the supply and demand of energy within a regional grid consisting primarily of renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power and biomass power. Combining its accumulated advance...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have shown satisfactory performance in alleviating the problems of electrical transmission systems. Optimal FACTS allocation problem, which includes finding optimal type and location of these devices, have been widely studied by researchers for improving variety of power system technical parameters. In this paper, a DIgSILENT-based Discrete Parti...
